Hi there!
I'm new to configuring WSUS, and here's the situation:
1) Our IT department only has two people - we took over for a couple of previous people. WSUS installation was part of the contractor's deal, so he has just installed it for us. Now I need to configure it.
2) I have a GPO made, and have a client desktop in the appropriate test ou to test out the GPO. It's getting the GPO ok.
3) Yesterday I set the GPO Intranet update service and intranet statistics server to http://YYCSVR1:8530 but today in the WindowsUpdate.log file, it showed that it couldn't connect to that server.
4) I changed the GPO url's to http://YYCSVR1. Did a gpoupdate /force and the log is now showing that it can contact the wsus server at that url. However, when I run (on the client) reg query hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows\windowsupdate it shows the
urls as http://yycsvr1:8530. I ran the wuauclt.exe resetauthorization /detectnow command, and running the reg query still shows the url's as http://yycsvr1:8530
5) My WSUS console is still showing that the client has a "Not yet reported" status, and I can't seem to get it to show reported in the console, however it does seem to be getting updates and contacting the WSUS server, according to the log.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, in advance.
Neil
